1812 Winter Garrison

Saturday, February 18, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

Winters are harsh on the frontier! Freezing temperatures and snow make for a difficult life at a winter posting. Chopping wood and preparing meals are carried out daily by the assigned soldiers. Military drills and guard duty are also part of the soldiers’ duties. Visit with the soldiers. Witness what it is like to live in a frontier fort during the winter months.
